Often, once they’ve gotten better, we train and employ them,” Marx said, adding that the Farmer, who spends more of his time abroad with PIH than he does in Cambridge, plays an active role in training these employees. Kleinman said Farmer’s commitment to combining medicine and public service predated his professional work...
